The silverback 1s uses banana plugs, so make sure your charger has that.  If not, you can easily make an adpater (ie t-plug to banana).  Just make sure you plug in +'ve and -'ve correctly.

It looks about right.  The charger will stop charging when the lipo reach 4.2v for 1s.  In your pic. the charger put in 2480mAh in your lipo.

No ar.  With lower A charging, it produce less heat so better for battery and charger, but takes more time.  It should charge about the same capacity than fast charging.

Not this Sat. but maybe Sunday.
